THE STORY:
After the initial abandonment there’s little to do but realize how empty the mundane trivialities can become.
  
THE LYRICS:

My alarm has woken me up 4 times
Since I live without you
And the sun has set down 4 times
Since I live without you
I said “Hey shut up
Stop yelling at me…”
I look for your car but it never goes by
I haven’t seen you since the day
You made me cry

Oh…I’d like to see you again
Oh…I wish I was wanted
By you…

My electric bill will decrease
Cause I sit in the dark
Since I live without you
And the ringing of my phone will decrease
Since I live without you
Hey shut up with the anger in your eyes
Stop telling lies…
Only last week you fell asleep by my side
You said that you cared but I say that you lied…

Oh…I’d like to speak to you again
Oh…I wish I was wanted
By you…

And the snow has fallen a couple of times
Since I live without you
And the rattle of my windows puts me to sleep
Since I live without you
I said, “Hey shut up with the anger in your voice
Stop all the noise…”
Another friendship murdered by my jealousy
Since we last spoke I put up my Christmas tree
